Families are Forever...right?

When I think that Boo and Baby girl could have grown upso very far away from me, and we might have never met..it chokes me up. I cant imagine my life without my 2 lil babies. I love my babies so much , and am just humbled by GOD's plan for our lives.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY PAPI :) :)

WE LOVE YOU !!!

Bug crashed after VBS with her cat....

It has been sooooo hot lately, I let the babies play with

the water table and they had a blast ! It was so funny to see

them splash each other and just laugh !

My lil' beauties ;)

How stinkin cute is my girl ??

Baby girl has a little birthmark on her back shaped like

a butterfly :)

Getting ready to splash me !

She is such a happy baby. ( the screaming stopped ;P oye.)

~JON & KATE PLUS 8.... MINUS 1 ?

OK SERIOUSLY AM I ALONE IN BEING SO BUMMED OVER THIS AND IRKED BY JON??

Its weird how I care so much about this I know, but I was really in a funk last night after the show. I HATE TO SEE THEM BREAKUP. And btw what is up w/ JON'S EARRINGS?? He didnt have earrings before, now 2 diamond studs, and a funky t-shirt and smoking? Why do people give up on their families SO easily? Yes marriage is hard. Yes raising kids is hard. Sure it is harder in the spot light...especially when you are out with a 23 year old teacher in a bar who is NOT your wife ( just saying)

No one ever said it would be easy, but it is worth it. I wonder if they were not financially secure if he would walk away to explore the next chapter in his life (since he is only 32.....his words) Who cares how old he is ? He has 8 children to provide a stable family for and to love their mother! That is what counseling is for , right? I know she was tough on him and they have problems like everyone can, she clearly was the stronger of the 2, but it seemed to work for them. I just felt so bad for Kate, when she said he wont even talk to her. I'm sure it is complicated, I just hate to see a family break up, and the hubby go off and re-live his 20's.. without trying super hard to work it out. Guess the tabloids win again :( sorry. had to get this off my mind :)

Any thoughts?

On a happier note !!!!!

~welcome home to Kristi and her beautiful Lucy Lane !!! Check her pictures out here. **

Thanks Maria for the Welcome Home!! I had to tell you...while in ET, I had atleast two people say, "hey, there is this girl in Fla. that puts big bows on her baby too"....I had to tell them that I already knew you and your little one was my inspiration :) ha. Great minds think a like :) The pics are great, kj

I agree on the Jon & Kate thing. Richard asked me what I thought about it & I said, really, I'm just disappointed. I'm sure there are 2 sides to every story, but it just seems like Jon has totally disconnected. (& I saw the earring thing, too...come on - you're 32, not 23!!) I think they had a great opportunity to show how marriage really is - hard work that is sometimes awesome & sometimes really stinks, but it's a commitment that's not to be taken lightly & I wish they would have tried counseling or something, esp. as a Christian couple being held up in the spotlight. It is sad.

On the "drama" ...well, I have been praying for them for awhile now. My heart grieves with God, as they had a platform to glorify Him...they had such opportunity to shine as Lights. Now when people are reminded that they professed His Name...well, another one for the enemy.

And, Maria..thank you for your sweet words of encouragement. I appreciate it, truly.

My baby struggling to survive 10/16/10

~Starfish~

2 friends were walking along the beach. The beach was littered with thousands of starfish that were drying up in the sun.As the 2 friends walked along,one of them bent down and picked up a starfish and carefully tossed it back to the sea. They could hardly walk without the man rescuing a poor starfish. As they continued , the one man asked his friend "why are you throwing these starfish back into the water? It doesnt matter" The friend smiled, As he tossed the starfish back to the sea , he simply said...

" It matters to this one."
